Time Perception, Numerosity, Attention, Memory, Psychophysics
In Spring 2023, Candice (she/her) earned her Ph.D. in Psychology with a concentration in Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience at George Mason University, where she conducted research in Dr. Martin Wiener’s spatial, temporal, action, representation (STAR) lab. She is also a founding member and Lead User Experience Researcher at The UXR Lab — a global research and training community of university-trained academics from diverse backgrounds who leverage their skills to provide user experience (UX) research services to non-profits, startups, and small businesses in preparation for a career shift into industry.
While attending Mason, she received Assistantships, Research Fellowships, and a Dissertation Completion Grant to fund her work. Her work included elucidating the neural mechanisms involved in human time and space perception, and magnitude processing as a pathway to understanding perceptual processing and multisensory integration. In the lab, she used a variety of cognitive neuroscience tools, and combinations of methods to enhance their insight power: eye tracking, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroencephalography (EEG), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), psychophysics, and behavioral measures.
Prior to attending Mason, she earned an M.A. in Psychology Research from Texas State University where she also taught Research Methods as a full-time Lecturer of Psychology for a year before starting her Ph.D. Her passion for psychological research began as an undergraduate at Northern Kentucky University, where she graduated Cum Laude with a B.A. in Psychology while minoring in Philosophy. While at NKU, she was inducted into the international honor societies for psychology (Psi Chi) and philosophy (Phi Sigma Tau).
